RE:
Request that the Board waive the $120 campaign finance late fee assessed against Michael "Mike" Darnell, in his capacity as a candidate for State Senator, 2nd Senatorial District, Orleans Parish, in the October 2, 2010 election, whose 2016 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 2 days late.
Facts:
Michael C. Darnell states that the notice that was sent to him by the Ethics Board was sent to the wrong address on January 13, 2017. He states he would appreciate the Board's consideration in waiving the fine, as the letter could not have been delivered to him to give sufficient notice of the upcoming deadline.
